    Lady Maureen’s first songs were Okecha, Wach Love, and Amollo Tinga, which were recorded in 2005. In 2018, She was arrested in Tanzania for performing illegally, a move that her producer said was crafted to tarnish her image and destroy her music career empire. She fell ill after two weeks after her release from prison.

    Her producer, Wuod Fibi recounts how Maureen attempted to step up her career with a release of an album during a stage performance. The album released failed due to electricity outage and her crashing off from the stage. She found it difficult to make a comeback in the music industry since that incident. Maureen was plagued with various sicknesses that shuffled her between hospitals. In June 2020 she was diagnosed with severe anemia and malaria and was rushed to Pastor Machage Hospital for treatment.
